A/N: Song mentioned in here is "I'm So Sorry" by Imagine Dragons

Our boi Gerik is our Google Translate in between talks.

And yes! That is my art of Gerik on the chapter cover without his mask! Wow! Amazing! Cool! Etcetera! Etcetera!

♪───O(≧∇≦)O────♪

You all stare at your Kama in amazement as it changes color. Even the octahedron was changing too!

The top half of the blade was silver, then it had a cut that was a deep orange color that faded into a bright yellow. Parts of the octahedron changed to the same orange that fades into yellow.

Okay, the anime did not do justice to the transition of the colors, this was fucking amazing.

"Whoah!" Tanjiro gushes, "That is so cool! Look at all the colors!"

"It's so flamboyant! A flamboyant weapon for a flamboyant girl!" Uzui praises.

"So (B/n) is worthy enough to have it changed!" Inosuke grins from under his boar's hide.

"Of course she is!" Genya says, "And it's (Y/n)!"

Gerik smiles, "I thought you said you can't use a breath?"

You stare at the Kama in wonder and slight confusion, "I can't. At least... I thought I couldn't."

"What does a sword with silver, orange, and yellow mean?" Tanjiro asks Gerik.

"Well," Gerik draws out, "First, it's not a sword, it's called a Kama. And second, the color of the blade is associated with the Breath styles."

"Wait, so (Y/n) can actually use a breath?" Zenitsu asks.

Uzui nods, "Seems like it. Multiple ones at that."

"Grey is associated with the Stone Breathing techniques. Yellow is for Thunder Breathing, and since the Breath of Sound is derived from Thunder Breathing, it's an amber color." Gerik explains.

"Mistress is able to use a breath mixed with the Stone Breathing, Thunder Breathing, and Sound Breathing. Or at least something that is similar to it."

Genya couldn't help but feel slightly jealous of you. He can't master a single breathing technique, and here you are using three of them.

Everyone snaps their heads to look at you. You were still looking at the blade, but was caught off guard at the sudden attention.

"W-What is it?" You stutter.

"You know," Zenitsu spoke first, "Now that I think about it, (Y/n) always have been better at practicing with Thunder Breathing, but there was just something off about it."

"Gerik, what are you guys talking about?"

"We have a theory that you might be able to use more than one breath style."

You force out a laugh, "Uh huh! And next you're gonna tell me that I actually just made up my own breathing style, right?"

Gerik scratches the back of his head, and he stays silent.

You deadpann as you set down the Kama on your lap, "No way. I didn't make up a breathing technique of my own. I don't even know how to use one!"

Gerik snaps his head up, "Why don't you show us?"

You jump back at his sudden excitement, "Show?! Sh... But I don't even know how to use this thing!"

"Cover up the blade! I made the wrapping thick enough so it won't cut through."
